I just had some of that too Pat.  Was really unimpressed.  Maybe just a bad batch...

If you're looking for a knockout one check out Founders Porter.  About the same price as Bells.

Those are both amazing on their own... but did he combine them?


He did indeed.  Said it was the best black & tan he's ever had.

I generally love quads/barleywines, but can't really picture it working well to bourbon-barrel age one.  Not compatible tastes, I'd think.

Sticky sweetness remains on my tongue. Just so much going on here, if the finish were smoother I think this would be a 4.5+. Excellent nonetheless.







Man, this stuff is way too much for me.  This stuff will mess you up.....over 11% alcohol. It tastes like about half bourbon, half beer.

If you wanna be knocked on your ass, pick this sh*t up.  OOFTA.  I really don't care for it on second try.  Too strong for me to enjoy.

Organic Chocolate Stout
Even better than Young's  Double Choc stout imho....this one by Smith is very smooth and is easy to drink at only abv of 5%. ....my current favorite choc stout.
One does nothing yet nothing is left undone.

Wow, sumac beer....heavyLOL.   Love the reflections of the party in the bottles....will have to look for it. 

That Barleywine ale is pretty intense.  My head is very glad I stopped when i did last night.  I've a sense you could mess yourself up pretty bad with it if you aren't careful.  Though I'm a bit of a lightweight with drinks anyway.
